Custom Modifications
Can't find what you need off the shelf? We engineer and fabricate custom IBC solutions from recycled materials.
Describe Your Custom Project
If You Can Imagine It, We Can Build It
IBC totes are incredibly versatile building blocks. The HDPE bottles are easy to cut, drill, and modify. The steel cages provide structural frameworks that can be welded, bolted, and reconfigured. And because we start with recycled containers, the raw material cost is minimal — making custom solutions surprisingly affordable.
Our fabrication team has built everything from gravity-fed irrigation manifolds to heated chemical storage enclosures. Tell us what problem you're trying to solve, and we'll design a solution using reclaimed IBC materials.
Popular Custom Projects
Spill Containment Systems
IBC totes modified with secondary containment basins cut from additional totes. Meets EPA requirements for chemical storage. Available in single and double-tote configurations with drain plugs for inspection.
Mixing & Blending Stations
Totes fitted with agitator mounts, sight glasses, graduated markings, and multi-port inlet/outlet configurations. Perfect for fertilizer blending, chemical dilution, and batch processing.
Gravity Dispensing Systems
Elevated frame structures that position IBC totes for gravity-fed dispensing. Includes valve controls, hose connections, and drip trays. Ideal for workshops, farms, and warehouses.
Multi-Tote Manifold Systems
Two or more IBC totes plumbed together with equalization lines and common outlet manifolds. Multiply your storage capacity while maintaining a single draw point.
Heated & Insulated Enclosures
Insulated blankets and thermostatically controlled heating elements keep contents from freezing or maintain optimal viscosity. Essential for cold-climate operations.
Aquaponics & Grow Systems
IBC totes split and configured into combined fish tank and grow bed setups. Includes plumbing, bell siphons, and media guards. A complete aquaponics system from recycled materials.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common projects include spill containment pallets, multi-tote manifolds, mixing stations, dispensing carts, heated insulation jackets, hose stations, custom outlet conversions, dog wash setups, and aquaponics systems. If it can be built around an IBC frame, our fabrication shop has likely done a version of it.
Yes. Send a sketch, photo, or written description of the system you need and we will respond with engineering questions and a recommended approach. For complex builds we deliver shop drawings before fabrication so your engineering team can review and sign off on dimensions and materials.
Pricing depends on materials, complexity, and quantity. Simple outlet conversions start under a hundred dollars; full multi-tote manifold systems can run several thousand. Every custom project receives a fixed-price written quote before fabrication begins — no open-ended hourly billing.
Standard modifications ship in two to four weeks from design approval. Complex systems with custom engineering, multiple components, or specialty materials can run six to eight weeks. We commit to a target ship date in writing with every quote and provide weekly updates during build.
Yes. We match materials to your chemistry — polypropylene, PVC, HDPE, or stainless steel — and select gaskets, seals, and fittings rated for your service conditions. Food-grade builds use dedicated equipment and FDA-compliant materials with chain-of-custody documentation included on delivery.
